This semester I added a new assignment to my graduate research methods course - I had students conduct in-person survey interviews with 20 strangers using a questionnaire I had developed focused upon self-control and driving behavior. With 14 students in my class we ended up with data on 280 adults from Dade and Broward counties here in south Florida. Though only a simple exercise in introducing students to the experience of collecting data (and having to do so face-to-face with participants), some cool results emerged:1. Participants who rated themselves as lower in self-control were more likely to report that they text while they drive.2. Participants who rated themselves as higher in self-control were more likely to report a) wearing seat belts, b) using a turn signal while changing lanes, and c) using a turn signal while making turns.3. While participants rated the driving ability of the average driver to be 5.1 on a scale from 1-10, participants rated their own driving ability to be 7.8.
